Whats The Point of Good Photographs
What's the point of good photographs?
Hi and welcome, I read a very interesting blog from a media expert this week. It's by Fiona Scott, Managing Director of Fiona Scott, Media Consultancy and she specialises in helping SMES, individuals and organisations raise their profile, be visible and therefore, create opportunities to grow. Fiona has over 25 years experience in PR, news service, corporate videography, tv production, journalism and media training and this is what she has to say about the power and value of good quality images to business.
Over to you Fiona.
Fiona Scott
If you've invested in the press relations part of public relations - either in your own time or the time of someone like me, are you also investing in good imagery for your business?
The reason I ask that question is that people like me spend an inordinate amount of time chasing down photographs to distribute with news stories. Why? Many business owners don't consider paying for good imagery to accompany any story - they always think any old image will do. It won't.
One of the reasons for this is that we see imagery all of the time across social media and we can take our own photographs with our own mobile phones and many of us cannot get our head round the fact that with PR this may simply not be good enough.
It's easy to forget that like any other profession, being a good photographer takes skill, training and a good eye for lighting, composition and for making the subject feel comfortable. A good set of images really stands out from the business down the road which makes do with photographs from a staff member's phone.
Don't get me wrong. Posting on social media with immediate images or those taken during a day's work is not a bad thing, it's a good thing. I do it myself all of the time. However in the world of press relations, one of the greatest selling points of any story is the quality of the image.
My life is made much easier if I know there's a good image which is easily accessible and which I can send out at a moment's notice. If I'm writing a story and distributing it, I always send an image. Why? Any journalist who receives that story and is interested and doesn't have a picture will have to come back and chase me for one. That will not please them. Before you say that all journalists are lazy (I hear this about once a week). No they are not. They are busy and spending ten minutes chasing down simple image which is decent and usable is, for them, a waste of time. If they've got two stories to choose from and one comes with a decent image - and your story does not - guess which story is most likely to be used?
Now I will not send out a story without an image unless a journalist has already told me they are interested and they are sending someone to take their own image. I will not send out a story where the image is so poor, I'm embarrassed as that affects my own relationship with a fellow journalist.
So my top tips are as follows:
*When investing in press relations, think photographs and include that cost in your budget as well.
*For hard copy news, such as a local paper or magazine, you will need higher resolution images of at least 1mg, sometimes much higher. So ask your photographer for options to cover on and offline.
*Think about when professional imagery is appropriate - if your product or service costs money then consider whether or not your imagery (online or offline) just looks cheap. Be honest.
I can assure you, I have got exposure for clients simply through the stunning photograph even if the story is not that unusual. Invest in making your business look the best it can be at a moment's notice.

REGINA – Making his first start in a Canada West game, Shaquille Harris responded in a big way with career highs in both points and rebounds to lift the University of Regina's men's basketball team to a 107-91 victory over Mount Royal on Saturday at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport.
Harris finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Cougars, helping them snap a three-game conference losing streak and improve to 8-4 with the victory.
The first half was about as tightly contested as they come, with the two teams trading leads a total of 13 times in the opening 20 minutes. The score was tied 20-20 after the first quarter and Regina took a 49-47 advantage into halftime.
The Cougars went on a quick 9-0 run in less than a minute in the third quarter, opening up a 10-point lead which was the first double-digit advantage for either team in the contest. The first six points of that run were scored on a single possession, with Brandon Tull converting three free throws – one of which was courtesy of an MRU technical foul by an assistant coach – and Shawn Lathan drilling a three-pointer just seconds later. Regina scored another seven consecutive points early in the fourth quarter to open up a second double-digit lead, and it was at least a three-possession game almost the entire way down the stretch.
Besides the breakout double-double by Harris, Regina also had double-digit performances from five other players. Alex Igual also had a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Shawn Lathan scored 15 points despite only playing in the second half. Brian Ofori added 14 points – four of which came on thunderous dunks on back-to-back possessions late in the game – while Brandon Tull picked up 13 and Samuel Hillis scored 11.
The tandem of Josh Ross and John Hegwood accounted for just over half of Mount Royal's 91 points. Ross led all players with 26 points while also picking up eight rebounds and six assists, while Hegwood scored 20.
Mount Royal drops to 6-6 with the loss as the Cougars will now prepare for a pair of games away at a MacEwan team that will head into next weekend at 3-9.
Regina (8-4) will also head to Edmonton next weekend with the tough task of squaring off with the only 11-win team in the conference. Alberta (11-1) took out Calgary in a home-and-home series this weekend.

Thanks to the interdisciplinary cooperation between medics, biologists, chemists and textile experts, we are able to offer you a broad range of textiles which make it possible to neutrally and objectively verify the effectiveness and safety of functionalised (textile) products. This applies in particular with respect to the Ordinance on articles for Domestic Use (BedGgstV) or the Medical devices law (MPG).
In communication, the judgment of a neutral, independent institution such as the Hohenstein Institute carries great weight. You can make the most of this advantage when marketing your products, for example using the Hohenstein Quality Label .
A key focus here are tests on the effectiveness of finishes based on nanoparticles (soil repellency), chemical (repellent) and physical protection against insects or house dust mites and the antimicrobial effect of products in terms of preventing infections (surgical textiles) or reducing the smell of perspiration (sportswear of business wear).
On request, we can test products as new, but also taking into consideration their natural ageing, e.g. following care treatments in domestic washing machines or professional textile care.

The Elixir
May 30, 2012
A silence falls
cast'd ethereal darkness across the peopled plain.
Nothing stirs,
all intent on torch-lights, reddened, six-fold,
that twinkle afore our collective eye.
from vested, steadfast lips yonder.
Then behold,
amid incense-smoke swaddled,
the tri-part bell's clarion trill announce,
a chalice alift and declared thus:
the blood of God,
whence partaken, life eternal bestow'd.
before the True Alchemy bow'd.
my soul sent aloft desirous
swore that from this elixir,
I shall henceforth
never be kept.
"The Celestial Liturgy" – By Rachel M Gohlman (me)

CHICAGO --There was a march to stop the violence in Chicago and a call for new gun laws Thursday.Father Michael Pfleger of Saint Sabina Church led a group to the State of Illinois Building on Randolph.
For more than four months, people from the parish have gathered there every time a child has been killed by gun violence. Thursday's march was in honor of 15-year-old Percy Rounds, who was killed Monday night in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood.
Father Pfleger called on state legislators to pass what he called common sense gun laws.
"Nobody should be angry about banning assault weapons in this country. Nobody should be angry with the fact that we want background checks of everybody that buys a gun," he said.
Those who support gun owners' rights say more gun laws will not keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.

Putting The Cuffs On Hypertension
Have you been tested for high blood pressure? Your doctor may put a cuff on your arm as part of a routine check-up to test your blood pressure. Caused by blood pushing too hard against the walls of your blood vessels, high blood pressure (hypertension) can be a serious medical condition. If your levels are above normal, you might be at increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
Your doctor can test your blood pressure levels at a clinic or hospital, but you can also test your blood pressure yourself. Measuring your blood pressure at home is helpful for two reasons. First, some people get higher-than-usual blood pressure readings at the doctor's office, usually because they are a bit nervous. Second, people with hypertension need to monitor their blood pressure regularly. Blood pressure normally changes daily, rising during activity and falling during sleep. The best way to get good readings is to check yourself at the same time of day.
If you have hypertension, you should take occasional readings at different times during the day and evening. This can help you determine the effects and effectiveness of blood pressure medications. Ask your doctor how often you should monitor your blood pressure.
If you test your blood pressure at home, you have three types of home monitors to choose from:
- The manual inflation device. Wrap the cuff around your arm and use a pump to inflate it.
- The automatic inflation device. Push a button to inflate the cuff. It then deflates at the rate needed for an accurate test.
- The wrist cuff. Wrap the cuff around your wrist and push a button to inflate the cuff.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether home monitoring is a good idea for you and which type of monitor would best suit your needs.
Most home monitors give extremely accurate readings. The monitor will show systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic, the higher number, refers to the measurement taken when your heart contracts. Diastolic, the lower number, refers to when your heart expands. Most home monitors also show a reading on your heart rate or pulse (how many times a minute your heart is beating). Normal rates vary between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Many monitors have a tiny computer in them that lets you compare a reading with previous ones. Make sure you get a cuff size that fits well. If it's too small or big for your arm or wrist, it may give false readings.
Here's a list of the standards a home monitor uses for measuring blood pressure. Depending on your medical conditions, your doctor may recommend different blood pressure targets. For example, people with diabetes may need to have lower blood pressure standards than 130/85. Talk to your doctor to find out what your targets should be.
|below 130
|below 85
|Upper end of normal
|High Blood Pressure
|Stage 1
|Stage 2
|Stage 3
|above 180
|above 110
Stage 3 is a serious hypertensive reading. If you have a Stage 3 reading, contact your doctor immediately.

From the late 19th century, the former Bishops Court Quarry (just off junction 30 of the M5) operated as an opencast site for the extraction of aeolian sands. After the late 1990s, the site was backfilled with around 300,000m³ of sand arisings from surrounding infrastructure works - up to 30m above the former quarry base. When Harrow Estates acquired the site and proposed with Redrow Homes South West to redevelop it for 190 homes, we were asked by remediation contractors VertaseFLI to review the earthworks tender documents. These had been issued for the re-profiling of the site, with treatment via dynamic compaction to create a development platform suitable for shallow foundations.
After critically assessing the geotechnical data and the proposed methodology, our team of specialist geotechnical and ground engineers redesigned the earthwork strategy - taking a mainly conventional excavation and compaction approach with localised use of high energy impact compaction to improve deeper areas of fill.
The scheme successfully received NHBC regulatory approval within four weeks of submitting our validation report. Our revised approach realised cost savings not only on the remediation earthworks, but also on the eventual foundations used for the residential units.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about hands lately (some might say I have too much time on mine…).
Obviously hands are pretty integral to what I do, and incredibly useful in general (handy in fact!). They are also very beautiful and as a result they are notoriously hard to draw.
It is for all these reasons that I set myself the challenge to draw better hands. I found learning a bit about the anatomy of hands really helped, as did looking at the way other artists tackle hands (check out Albrecht Durer's Praying Hands for an example of hand perfection). And although my hands are far from perfect, there is a definite improvement. Here are some examples of my 'handy' work (sorry) and there are more in the pipeline.
My next hand challenge – handstands! (…one day)

***Best typefaces for direct mail sales letters***
Although I've covered this in past issues, I keep getting
asked, "What typeface should I use in the body copy of my
sales letter?"
The best practice used to be to use a typewriter font,
either Prestige Elite or New Courier.
Today, there is a feeling that with the long history of
desktop publishing, Times Roman is equally effective.
But I like to be safe and use Courier for all my letters.
You should avoid Arial, Verdana, and other sans serif
typefaces for body copy, because they are hard to read.
For headlines, I use Arial Black, and the subhead under the
main headline, Arial.
***The awful truth about Real Simple Syndication (RSS)***
Blogging enthusiasts claim that RSS is bringing blogging to
the masses.
But according to an article in Fuel newsletter (11/06, p.
2), only 2% of U.S. employees subscribe to RSS feeds.
Reason: Despite its name, Real Simple Syndication really
isn't all that simple.
Proof: 98 out of 100 people find RSS so intimidating and
confusing, they don't use it.
***7 tips for being a better panel moderator***
Marketing executive and author Frank Catalano
(www.frankcatalano.com) offers these smart, sensible tips
for doing a great job when moderating a panel at a seminar,
conference, or boot camp:
1. Send your panelists an introductory e-mail outlining
ground rules and basics like time, date, and venue.
2. Ask panelists to define terms that may be unfamiliar or
unclear to your audience.
3. Keep things moving. Make sure the audience gets what
they came for.
4. Ban PowerPoint. It works well for solo presentations,
but not for panels.
5. Prepare a great first question and give it to panelists
in advance, telling them they'll have 2 minutes each to
answer it.
6. Control the session. Do not let panelists drone on or
make unchallenged assertions.
7. The audience is there to learn from the panelists, not
you. Do not make yourself the center of attention.

***Your 25th year in business: does the customer care?***
Glib marketing speakers talk about how you should always
stress benefits, and never talk about features ? and how
you should always focus on the customer, and never on the
But you and I know this isn't always true. For instance, the
number of years you've been in business is a feature ? a
fact about the company.
Yet prospects care how long you've been in business — and
your longevity can help close the sale. Why?
According to a recent NBC poll, more than 70% of Americans
are losing their trust in business.
And as bad as that may sound for most businesses, companies
that have been around a long time, with a track record of
success, "are suddenly at a tremendous advantage," says

While, swimming pools offer an excellent way to have fun and relax, one needs to adhere to certain safety guidelines to avoid accidents and prevent any drowning incident. Here are a few swimming guidelines you should always keep in mind, particularly if you are a parent.
These safety guidelines go a long way towards reducing the chances of injuries and risk of drowning incidents. Following them will ensure that you have a peace of mind, knowing that your children are safe.
- Under no condition, should you allow kids to swim without adult supervision. Be sure to supervise all activities when children are in the pool.
- Don't swim immediately after a hearty meal.
- Always keep tables and chairs far away from the pool safety fence, lest children are tempted to enter the water.
- It is a good idea to keep a telephone in the pool area, so that you can continue to watch the children even when you get a call. Also keep emergency numbers near the poolside phone.
- Adults have no time to watch kids at large get togethers. At such events, parents should designate someone as the pool watch guard. Adults can rotate this duty.
- Enroll children above four in a swimming class, appropriate for their age. If this isn't possible, instruct them in basic flotation and life saving techniques.
- Do not exclude small children from pool safety talks if you want to ensure their long-term safety. Emphasize that you will not stand for pushing and running around the pool. Introduce the buddy rule early on.
- Do not leave the pool open. And to prevent children from getting to the pool, keep all doors and windows leading to the pool area secure.
- Install an alarm on doors that lead to the pool area.
- To ensure that children do not fall inside the pool, keep the cover of the swimming pool completely lifted over the pool. Also, do not let your children or pets walk over the pool cover.
- Always have a life saving flotation device handy near the pool.
- Keep rescue equipment by the pool, and make sure all family members know where this equipment is located.
- Learn CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to prepare yourself for any pool accident.
- Do not place electrical appliances near the pool.
These safety guidelines go a long way towards reducing the chances of injuries and risk of drowning incidents. Following them will ensure that you have a peace of mind, knowing that your children are safe.

Event Details
The Women's Council of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden announces plans for "AUTHENTIC TEXAS…food and gardens", the 11th Annual "A Writer's Garden" Literary Symposium and Luncheon, scheduled for Thursday, November 2, 2017, 9:30 am to 2 pm, at the Arboretum's Rosine Hall at 8625 Garland Road. The event is part of the Women's Council's 35th Anniversary Celebration.
Serving as Honorary Chair is Nancy Bierman, founder the symposium. Kay Weeks and Susan Adzick are the co-chairs for the event. Melissa Lewis is the President of the Women's Council.
Over the past ten years, "A Writer's Garden" has presented outstanding authors and speakers whose rich histories about gardens, architecture and art, and illuminating stories of extraordinary individuals and events, have engaged our minds, delighted our senses and touched our hearts. The distinguished speakers for this year's Symposium include:
Jessica Dupuy is a native Texan who writes about wine, spirits, food, and travel. In her latest book, United Tastes of Texas: Authentic: Recipes from All Corners of the Lone Star State, she shares her rich knowledge of the cultural and regional diversity of the state and how it has impacted the Texas culinary experience. Jessica is a contributing columnist for Texas Monthly magazine and has written other cookbooks including The Salt Lick Cookbook: A Story of Land, Family and Love, Uchi: The Cookbook, and Jack Allen's Kitchen Cookbook.
Pamela Walker, author of Growing Good Things to Eat in Texas, has spent years researching the farming and ranching families who have been a driving force in the organic and sustainable farming food revival in Texas. Pam is a retired Assistant Director of the Center for the Study of Cultures at Rice University, Houston and a former academic librarian and college English teacher.
Andrea DeLong-Amaya is Director of Horticulture at The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. She teaches classes in native plant horticulture and has contributed to many magazines, including Taunton's Fine Gardening,
Rodale's Organic Gardening, Neil Sperry's Gardens magazine as well as the American Public Gardens Association's Public Garden.
Since 1986, the major goal of the Women's Council has been the design, construction, and funding and endowment of A Woman's Garden, the centerpiece garden of the Dallas Arboretum. A Woman's Garden is the only public garden in the nation conceived by women, funded by the efforts of women and dedicated to the spirit of women. The support of over 600 members of the Women's Council makes possible the continued expansion and maintenance of the garden.
A Patron Party for "A Writer's Garden" Sponsors and Patrons is planned for Monday evening, October 30, 2017 in a private residence.
Individual tickets for "A Writer's Garden" Literary Symposium and Luncheon begin at $125.

As you may know I went home to South America a few months ago...Upon my return I decided to host a trade on my online group Fibert Art Traders. I had posted some pictures of my trip (See older posts) and the group members where to interpret my pictures or draw inspirations from any element of them to create a 6x 6 miniquilt.
Here are the great miniquilts that were made!
I wish I could have one of each!

MY SUE SPARGO GINGER GROVE!!!!Quilted by my friend Wanda Stivison
I finally finished it! I started this when I first met Sue Spargo in 2007. I went to a luncheon and she was there doing the lecture. I went there with the attitude of " I don't do that kind of art' ( folk art).
I fell in love with her work as well as with her for her humble, unstoppable and tremendous creativity and goodness of heart. I am very lucky that she lives about an hour from me and last year I started to go to a workshop at her home. We are surrounded by her fabulous art and friendship and inspiration .
I wanted to share a picture of it. This is the first quilt that I had a friend quilt by machine. I always do mine but I knew this one had to have that special touch. My friend Wanda Stivison from Union Furnace Ohio whom I met on one of my online groups did this in the way she thought best. She did a fantastic job and she made my work better. So I say this is mine and Wanda's quilt. We have a great friendship that started online and I loved her since I met her finally in person last year.
This quilt is special, because it bonds us in more than one way. Our friendship, the trust of one artist allowing the other to be a part of it...
Means a lot to me....Thanks Wanda for tangling your threads with mine! Check out her blog A Frayed of Fibers on my blog list!!

Background Obesity is an increasing global health problem, and current methods of management are limited. Preliminary research data suggest that acupuncture may have an influence on metabolic parameters related to obesity.
Objective To determine the electroacupuncture (EA) protocol to be used in a future clinical trial examining the effect of acupuncture on metabolic parameters related to obesity and to examine whether a single EA treatment can change fasting blood glucose in obese subjects.
Methods 16 obese women aged 30–52 years with body mass index >30 kg/m2 were assigned consecutively into three groups and their fasting blood glucose was measured before and after administering a single session, lasting 30 min, of one of three EA treatment protocols. The Dorsal group received EA to dorsal segmental acupuncture points BL18–23 bilaterally (corresponding to the segmental levels innervating the pancreas); the Ear group received EA to ear points in the cavum conchae; and the Limb group received EA to points in the arms and legs (LI10–LI11, ST36–Zongping).
Results After a single session of EA there was a statistically significant decrease in fasting blood glucose in the Dorsal and Limb groups, but there was no change and even a trend towards an increase in the glucose level in the Ear group.
Conclusions The findings of this small pilot study suggest that EA to either dorsal segmental points corresponding to the pancreas or to muscle points in all four limbs may exert a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism in obese women.

Market House
How long can the mayor and City Council prolong an intractable situation? A succession of administrations and councils have upgraded Market House -- a needed improvement -- and attempted to manage it. All have failed to recognize two crucial facts.
First, the city doesn't have the expertise to manage a commercial enterprise. And it is unwilling to pay for that expertise in the form of a professional manager.
Second, the current form of the market dates to the 19th century on a site chosen in the 18th century. It was created to provide a necessary community service when life was lived in a distinctly different manner in a drastically smaller community.
Without a substantial reconfiguration of the City Dock area, citizens are not going to drive from outside Ward 1 to shop for fresh foods. Nor should they. Ward 1 doesn't have the population to support the type of market some residents desire, or it would exist.
The current economic "market" was addressed by all the recent proposals presented to the council. The residents have had years to express their opinions. Yet, the council hasn't acted.
It is time to face facts. The city should get out of the market business. It should sell Market House or create a simple long-term lease. It should require that the footprint, the single-style roof and sale of food and beverages be retained.
Our Historic District ordinance and planning code will address specifics. Both are sound and working documents.
Let's move on.
Editor's note: The writer is a former chairman and 30-year member of the Annapolis Planning Commission.
Liberals vs. conservatives
As a moderate, let me try to cut through the current social-issue hysteria on both sides of the political spectrum and point out the basics:
Conservatives mistrust government as wasteful and inefficient, and believe that all citizens should have the freedom to aspire to a bigger share of the country's resources through education, skills, hard work, etc. Some level of poverty is inevitable. Poverty is best reduced by providing opportunities and incentives to move up economically through hard work and better life choices.
Liberals believe government is more trustworthy and wiser than individual citizens, and politicians should therefore decide who should get what share of the country's resources. Ideally, everyone should have the same share, regardless of education, skills, hard work, life choices and nationality. Poverty is the fault of the rich, so government needs to redistribute wealth from rich to poor.
Yes, these are oversimplifications. What is true in any case is that government has no money of its own. Almost all the resources of government -- federal, state or local -- come from taxes on citizens and businesses.
Saying the government should do something always means more taxes. History shows that extremes in either direction do not work and that a balance must be struck between individual liberties and social responsibility. This requires compromise and a willingness to work across party lines.
Las Vegas shootings
I am extremely shocked and devastated to hear about the mass shootings that took place in Las Vegas by 64-year old man, Stephen Paddock. The shootings killed over 50 people and left more than 500 injured.
It is extremely upsetting to imagine that in the 21st century we have such extremists roaming the streets of a developed Western country so freely.
Irrespective of whether this is terrorism, which it clearly is, or not, I think the more pertinent issue here is the gun laws in the United States.
In 2017, there were over 270 mass shootings and over 11,000 deaths in the United States through gun violence. This has led to the continuous grief and worry of many families.
What else will it take to reconsider the gun laws in the United States?
My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the injured and the families left bereaved.

In September of 2004, I took delivery of my Dual 2.5 GHz PowerMac G5. It was the most powerful machine Apple sold at the time, and the processors were so blazingly fast that they actually had to be liquid-cooled. I've been holding onto the machine, waiting to replace it until Apple refreshed the Mac Pro line again. They've basically been the same for more than a year, and I prefer to buy into a line when it's new. Still, an Intel desktop would be nice.
I've gotten used to using two matched Dell 20″ monitors, and I don't want to give them up. The problem is that the only machine that can handle my monitor setup is a Mac Pro. There's nothing in between the iMac and the Mac Pro.
True, the iMac can drive a second monitor, and I could buy a 20″ iMac, but then one screen would be glossy, and the other matte, which would not be great. So I'd decided to hold off on upgrading the G5 until the Mac Pro refresh, which I figured would probably be in January, around Macworld Expo. Sometime in the first quarter of 2008, at worst.
But in the last few days, the G5 has started acting wonky. It would have trouble booting up, and then it would run for a while, then the fans would go crazy and it would go to sleep. Today, it finally got to the point that it would not boot at all unless I took the side cover and the interior air deflector off, which makes the thing's nine internal fans go into jet-engine mode. Then it will sometimes boot, but will fall asleep if there's any stress on the CPUs. A look at the Console logs reported "Thermal Runaway detected." Finally, I inspected the bottom of the G5's enclosure, and saw a dried green residue, which means the liquid coolant has leaked out.
Some Googling showed that this is not unknown in G5's of this vintage. It also means that the thing is now pretty much a very expensive, very attractive aluminum brick. I'll be able to salvage some parts, but it's not long for the world. And a repair would take a month (at least) and cost almost as much as a new machine.
My desktop is my main work machine; the MacBook won't cut it for bigger writing projects. So it looks like I'll have to buy a 2.66 GHz Dual Core Mac Pro. It will be nice to have a new, faster desktop, but it's a big financial hit, because I really won't be able to sell the old machine for much, if anything. At least the new machine is air-cooled.

Download Icecream PDF Converter Pro 2.80 Multilingual
File size: 120.7 MB
Icecream PDF Converter is a powerful tool for converting many file types to PDFs, or converting PDFs to individual images. The process starts by choosing a conversion type ("PDF" or "To PDF"), then dragging and dropping your target files onto the program. PDF files can be converted to various image formats: JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, EPS or WMF. In theory these can also be packaged as HTML, although this didn't work for us. There's better support for creating PDFs, with the program importing some Office documents (DOC/ DOCX, XLS/XLSX, ODT, ODS), images (JPG, PNG, BMP), ebooks (EPUB, MOBI, FB2), HTML and more. You get various options to control the conversion process. It's possible to extract page ranges a document, for instance (10-15, 123-131), or to merge various input files into a single PDF. Finally, you're able to choose the output folder. When converting "PDF" this defaults to a subfolder (MyFile.PDF > MyFileMyFile_1.JPG, MyFileMyFile_2.JPG), but this can be set to whatever you like. For some reason this didn't always work for us. One test PDF had its images missing the original DOCX, and we had significant problems converting to HTML (that is, nothing happened at all). Most of our conversions delivered excellent results, though, and if you need this kind of tool then Icecream PDF Converter is worth a try.

A chain of Mexican restaurants in Colorado opening a new location in November in Fort Collins has raised concerns about the chain's name, and residents want it changed.
The restaurant, Illegal Pete's, has six locations in Boulder and Denver and is modeled after the sort of Mexican food that originated in San Francisco's Mission District.
Owner Pete Turner told residents in Fort Collins on Wednesday that the name is a literary reference to a bar in a novel he once read. When he started the restaurant in 1995, he hoped the name would be ambiguous enough to spark people's interest.
But according to the Coloradoan, community members point out the negative context with the name – specifically with the world "illegal" when used to describe undocumented immigrants – and it should be dropped.
"Since I know the context, and I have been labeled with (the word illegal), it makes a huge difference to me," said Lucy Gonzalez, 25, who hopes people will stop using the word to refer to people.

Mexican Food Joints Bring 'Something Special' To Salt Lake City
Kim Medina, a Fort Collins immigration attorney and moderator of the meeting, said that social context is hugely important.
During the meeting, people likened the name to a racial slur directed to African-American like calling a restaurant "Smoking Lynching BBQ" or hanging a Confederate flag in the restaurant's window.
Antero Garcia, an assistant professor of English at Colorado State University, had asked Turner to attend the meeting in Fort Collins writing in a letter, "The restaurant will be located in the same area that current Fort Collins residents remember often seeing signs saying, 'No dogs or Mexicans.' It is under this legacy of American racist practices that the name Illegal Pete's becomes unacceptable."
According to the Coloradoan, Turner spoke at the beginning and the end of the meeting. He said the restaurant's name referred to him only and that he is committed to making the chain an "inclusive" business.
"This is all very near and dear to me," said Turner, referencing the company's charitable contributions and fundraisers. "I've helped pay for citizenship for some of my employees."
Milton Guevara is a general manager of Illegal Pete's at The Hill in Boulder and was born in El Salvador and came to the U.S. at a young age without documents. He said he never considered the name a problem.
"I'm Hispanic, and I'm very proud to be," he said. "People come to us because they love our food… The name doesn't mean anything."
At the end of the meeting, Turner said he had a lot to consider in weighing whether or not to change the name of the restaurant.
Medina quipped that while he considers his options, "We can be mobilizing ourselves either to celebrate or to protest."

Organic Food from Organic Seeds
Dear customers and friends of Living Seeds Sementes Vivas,
Most of the organic vegetables available on the market are produced from conventional seeds and thousands of varieties have disappeared from the market since the 1970s. The organic seed supply is limited and this is a threat to the future of organic food.
By buying organic and biodynamic seeds, you are supporting the movement towards seed and food sovereignty.
Let's start sowing now!
LSSV is working with Polytechnic Institutes like ESAC-IPC (Coimbra), ESACB (Castelo Branco), ESA-IPVC (Ponte de Lima) as well as with INIAV, the Portuguese seed bank. LSSV and the institutes cooperate to establish trial fields to develop high quality organic and biodynamic seeds, to train farmers in organic seed multiplication and to design tools and applied technology for farming and seed processing. LSSV and INIAV, the Portuguese seed bank, are developing a joint plant breeding program aiming to improve the quality of the top traditional crops of Portugal for organic and biodynamic farming.
Alongside the Green Valley programme which is supporting organic projects and education development, in the Beira Baixa region, the Camara Municipal of Idanha-a-Nova has been from the beginning a strong and active supporter of LSSV.

You may remember the review/interview that I did for Rachelle Rea's novel, The Sound of Diamonds.
Well, I am returning with the review of Rachelle's second novel, the Sound of Silver. Look at this gorgeous cover…
Barnes & Noble: coming Oct. 15
Amazon Paperback
Books a Million: coming Oct. 15
The Sound of Silver
The stalwart saint and the redeemed rebel. One is fighting for faith, the other for honor…
After Dirk rescues Gwyneth from the Iconoclastic Fury, she discovers that faith is sometimes fragile—and hope is not as easy as it may seem. Gwyneth continues her quest to learn more about the love of God preached by Protestants she once distrusted.
Meanwhile, Dirk's quest is to prevent his sullied name from staining hers. Will his choice to protect her prove the undoing of her first faltering steps toward a Father God? Once separated, will Dirk and Gwyneth's searching hearts ever sing the same song?
A Second Melody
In the first of Rea's epic trilogy, we saw two very different people who hated each other, eventually find hope through love. Both the love they heard for each other, and the love of a Heavenly father.
In this next installment of the Steadfast Love Series, we see these characters grow into stronger, more selfless people. We see them taking the second chances that have been offered, and using them for good. Dirk, once a rebel who only wanted to use Gwyn to redeem his soiled honor and live without a constant threat of death, is now putting others before himself. For her own, Gwyn has now learned how to control her fiery temper (somewhat) and is courageous enough to fight against all odds for the man she loves.
However, this determination they both have to protect the other by keeping them from danger, soon threatens their hopeful melody.
A Broken Song
Somehow, in the long scheme of books and what heroic men are supposed to behave like, there was this little idea introduced that I like to call A.T.G.M.E.B. In essence: Abandoning The Girl Makes Everything Better.
Newsflash? IT DOES NOT!
Alas, though, our poor Dirk never read this review, and so he decides, in order to help Gwyn, he must leave her, and take the threat with him.
This dismal time of goodbyes and separation leaves both our heroes in disarray. And while Dirk and Gwyn both search desperately for the truth, it seems that only a broken song can be heard. This utter sense of brokenness and despair is something that I am sure we can all relate to. That moment when you are chasing after something right and good, yet every step pulls you deeper into pain and heartache. This sense of heartache is what makes this story shine, strange as it seems. Rachelle creates characters that are so deep and full of feeling, the reader cannot help but yearn with them. To feel their hurt acutely, but also rise with their joy. She is truly masterful at the art of penning a character who breaths off the page.
A Rising Note
Even though Dirk and Gwyn suffer through many trials away from each other, there is also that moment of glory. Of fruition. When their eager footsteps bring them to the place they have always wanted to be. After all, if truth shall set you free, them hope is the wings you fly with. I do not want to give away anything, but as you journey with Dirk and Gwyn through this second novel, know that every valley will serve to make the mountaintop even more ravishing. And just like in our own lives, those times of trouble bind our hearts even tighter to the one who sings the song of truth.
A Bit Off Key
Alright, I feel as though I wouldn't be doing this review full justice If I wasn't honest about a few of the things that I struggled with in the book. First off, as I mentioned before, I was not especially a fan of having the hero leave the woman he loves in yet another book. This is something that happens so often, and always aggravates me a bit. I fully understand why it happened, and how it fits the character, but I felt like it was rather drawn out. That is true for the main content of the book as well. It seemed like the same events kept happening over and over again, but with different variations. Gwen is upset. Dirk returns. Dirk has to leave. Gwyn is upset. Dirk returns. Dirk has to leave. Gwyn is upset… In different ways and dimensions, but it happened several times and was rather monotonous. I also felt that, for a couple who weren't even sure if they were going to be around each other long enough to even get married, that Dirk and Gwyn kissed quite a bit. They didn't seem to really show any prudence or care about saving themselves, even if it never went any farther than kissing. As a reader who has decided to save her first kiss till she is married or at least engaged, it was distracting for me to constantly be reading the details of their physical affection, without them really committing.
A Beautiful Sound
With all of that said, I would like to finish up by saying that I truly enjoyed the novel. I may have not agreed with everything the characters did, but that is alright. We do not read books to have our own perceptions modified, but to be stretched and learn. The themes that rang through this novel such as truth, forgiveness, and courage were crafted so well that they will stay with me long after The Sound of Silver has caught dust on my bookshelf. Rachelle Rea has a special gift, and an even more special story to tell. I look forward to reading the rest of her novels, and hearing their beautiful sound.

text: This Wednesday August 7 from 9AM until Noon Tulsa FSC and Oilers Ice Center are hosting the registration day of the Tulsa Fire Dept Burn Camp for Kids. This is the first day of the camp and the ice arena is the perfect place for registration given that these kids can't really be exposed to the heat and sun. Registration begins at 9AM and continues until noon. They get on the ice around 10 to 10:30 AM. We need some volunteers to help with the process and some skaters to work with the kids on the ice. We hosted this last year and it was a rewarding experience and much appreciated by all of the kids. We hope to see you there.

Tips to take you a long way in business
The right marketing: No business can sustain for long without proper and the right marketing strategies. When it comes to marketing you need to understand what will work with minimum cost. You have to fix a budget and then stick to it. There is no point in investing all your money in marketing. In this era, nothing works as effective and cost-effective as digital marketing. Include SEO, emails, content marketing, social media and internet in your marketing plan.
Cost management: One factor that you will agree that drives your business is money. You need money to get money. That is why you will have to be extra careful when it comes to costs. Create a practical strategy to cut costs and also look at options as to how you can achieve maximum results in lesser costs. At the same time, spend where you need to but reign in your purse strings.
Get freelancers: Be it a new business or an established one, outsourcing can be a great way to control costs and yet attain the targets. Freelancers can help in a great deal for a business. You can achieve quicker and faster results with minimum spending and that is why freelancers can help your business in a great way. This can be a great boon to start ups.
More interaction: As a business owner, you cannot afford to stay within a glass door but you need to come out and interact more. Be it with your staff or outside, the more you communicate, the better leader you can be. Attend trade shows or conferences related to your business where you can meet like-minded business people and share ideas and solutions.
Making a business work needs skill and readiness to improve. Each day will give you a new tip. The key is to listen to them and implement them in such a way so as to bring in new sunrise for your company, every day.

Please take a quick tour of your new wallet. Navigate your way around by clicking on the screen buttons. This is simply meant to acquaint yourself a little with your newest friend. At this point, no damage can be done. So, please feel free to explore as much as you want. When you're done, let's move on to the next step below.
Step 8
At this point in time, there are no bitcoins in your brand new Exodus wallet yet. And, you're excited to get going, aren't you? Okay, let's quickly obtain your Bitcoin address inside the wallet.
Click Wallet (it's in the left margin of your Exodus screen).
Click Bitcoin
The following screen will appear:
Voila! There is your brand new Bitcoin address.
Your Bitcoin address is especially important when you want to receive bitcoins.
Therefore, the Exodus wallet makes it very easy for you to share your Bitcoin address with people who want to transmit Bitcoins to you.
You can enjoy sharing in any of the following ways:
- simply take a photo of your Bitcoin address and send it to them, or
- print your Bitcoin address and get it to them – use the printer icon on the above screen, or

Convenient, isn't it? Okay, great. Now that we know how to access and share our Bitcoin address, we can move on and fund our Bitcoin wallet in the next step.

Click Finish
Step 14

Congratulations, your Exodus wallet is now securely backed up.
And, finally, as you already know how to receive Bitcoins in your Exodus wallet, all that is left for us to do, is to show you how to send bitcoins from your wallet. Let's move on to the final step below.
Sending Coins
Log into Exodus.
Click Wallet
Click Bitcoin
The following screen will appear:
Click Send
The following screen will appear:
Copy or enter the Bitcoin Address of the recipient.
Enter the Bitcoin Amount To Send.
Click Send
Enjoy using your new Exodus Bitcoin wallet for real convenience, security and borderless freedom.
What are My Private Keys?
The most important part of opening up a new wallet is saving your private key, which will either be a series of letters and numbers or a set of 12 or 24 randomly generated words. Store this with caution as anyone who gets hold of this has access to your wallet.
You can think of your wallet as a lockbox. With the lockbox, whoever has your public key can unlock the lid to reveal a small slot and make a deposit into your lockbox, while your private key unlocks the body of that lockbox for you to gain access to what is inside (all your unspent bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies).
Along with this, your private key can also be used to recover your funds on another wallet platform. For example in this case, with Multi-bit you must have generated a private key when you first set-up the service. Now, using this key, you can recover all your funds on Exodus.
If you were to lose your login details for your wallet, the only way into your wallet would be the private keys. So, moral of the story – do not lose your private key.
How Do I Restore From my 12 Word Phrase?
If you have access to your email and know your password, there is a much easier way to restore your assets using your one-click email restore.
Otherwise, if you lost access to your email or you forgot your Exodus password or your one-click email restore is not working, the only remaining option is to restore from your 12-word phrase described below:
- Download the latest version of Exodus at www.exodus.io/releases/
- Launch Exodus
- Click restore from backup link on the Portfolio welcome screen (shown in the picture below)
- Choose 12 Word Recovery Phrase
- Exodus will then restart and ask you to enter your 12-word phrase
- Type your 12-word phrase in order with one space between each word
- Click Restore
- After a few seconds, Exodus will open with a popup Your Recovery Worked! Click OK and go do something else while Exodus finishes restoring your assets; this can take around 10 minutes to complete.
- Exodus will then restart and ask you to enter your 12-word phrase
- When Exodus says All Done! Your assets have been restored, your wallet is ready to use.
- Make sure to set a password on your newly restored wallet. See the video tutorial for instructions.

Whether it's rain or warm weather, expect pest pressureJuly 02, 2014
As the weather heats up, so does pest activity. And pests don't necessarily slow down when the warm weather leads to afternoon rain in many parts of the country.
Stay dry to stop mosquitoes this summerAugust 15, 2013
Not only has summer brought along its signature heat, but the season also has dumped heavy rainfall in many regions across the country. The resulting weather has been good news for mosquitoes, - and bad news for facility managers who may hear the high-pitched buzzing of a mosquito infestation closing in, especially in parking areas, outside picnic areas and recreational areas.
